Mother says MAKE YOUR BED!

BEFORE
(my Mom would be so ashamed!)

AFTER
(my Mom would be so proud!)

My Mother always said “if you make your bed, your room will look cleaner”.

I never believed her. I hated to make my bed.

I like to make a little nest in my bed. A pillow on either side of me, two under my head, one under my arm an extra sheet…. A cuddly thing here or there and my husband over the BIG HILL of pillows. I’m not a bed maker, until recently.

Recently in my old age I am coming around to my mother’s way of thinking. I’m starting to think that my room looks cleaner and neater and more put together with my bed made….? Could my Mother have been right all these years?

You tell me - was your Mother right too?!

I'm so glad you found me through the Nester! Thank you for your sweet comments about my room.

I love the pillows on your bed! Especially that little birdy one in front! And I think your playroom turned out fantastic! I LOVE the rug used with the turquoise blue color! Very cute!

She was right:) And Ben's right too! Just some days are too darn busy to make it!

No!! No Steph- I don't want them to be right! I want the unmade bed to be the trend...! Can WE start it?

Those are really cute pillows!

I agree with you (and your mother) that bedrooms do look neater with made beds, lol.

Your room is beautiful. I adore that bird pillow on your bed! And those pictures above your bed are beautifully done. Your mom was right about that made bed.

It was my Dad who always said the most important thing in a bedroom was a nicely made bed. My mom couldn't have cared less. ;-) She still doesn't make the bed when my dad is on business trips.

Hi Ashley. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

The buttons are originally from Pottery Barn. I found them at a store in Utah called Downeast Home. They get seconds, etc. from Pottery Barn. If you're persistent enough you can probably find them on Ebay too. Good luck!

This is one thing I do not do every day. I wish I did! It just actually does not bother me. Surprisingly enough. Plus it takes about 10 minutes with all the layers and layers of pillows! :) Yours looks great! I love those picture frames.
